23 Thoughts That Ran Through My Head During The First Day Of My Senior Year
Tim Gouw

I honestly can't believe that I'm a Senior in college! Not even high school, but college.

It seems like just yesterday I was moving in to my first dorm with my best friend (shoutout to Laura), ready to take on this new, exciting and slightly terrifying adventure.

It's been a crazy three years. After taking an entire year off of school and switching both my major and minor, I can't believe I'm at the end of my college career.

Today was the first day of my Senior year of college, and I'm both terrified and excited about what's ahead. Here are just a few of the many thoughts that went through my head on this big day:

1. "9 a.m.'s should be illegal"


Yuris Alhumaydy


2. "Do I really want to wear makeup today?"

3. "It's the first day; you'll have all semester to embrace your status as a potato. Just not today."


Kevin Laminto


4. "God I hope the Starbucks machine in the lobby got fixed, otherwise I'm gonna be Oscar the Grouch"


Roberto Nickson


5. "Don't trip on the stairs"

6. "Seriously, how did I deal with these hills for three years?"


What my route to class feels like Alexander Milo


7. "It's only the first day and my backpack weighs more than me!"

"It's like my back is pregnant...with quintuplets. Very expensive quintuplets."

8. "I'm a Senior; I should know where the Evans Complex is when a Freshman asks me for directions."

I'm gonna need one of these Aron


9. "I'm a Senior; I should not need to ask for help finding my room."

10. "Then again I look like a Freshman...in high school."

11. "If I have to pull my shorts down so my thighs stop sticking together one more time..."


Vanessa Serpas


12. *Checks syllabus for Senior-level Sociology course*

Wadi Lissa


13. *Nervous breakdown in 3...2...1... blast off*


Sydney Sims


14. "If nearly all of my classes are for Communication Studies, then why aren't they in the Communications building?"

15. "I really hope my thighs don't make a weird noise when I un-stick them from this chair to get up and introduce myself."


Update: they did. It sounded like a straight-up fartSpencer Dahl


16. "I have no fear of public speaking; why am I nervous about asking someone for directions?"

17. "Okay yeah, I got up way too early this morning, and now I'm too early to my first class. I already need a nap."


Alexander Possingham


18. "I hope nobody hits me with that ever-popular, 'How do you plan on making money with a Communications degree?' today"


Sharon McCutcheon


19. "How do I plan on making money, you ask? By minding my business, that's how."


MD Duran


20. "I am so thankful I have a friend in two of my classes."

21. "...I need how many textbooks for this one class?"


Sharon McCutcheon


22. "I'm probably the only Senior year who looks like they're literally 12."

23. "Okay, that's an exaggeration. I look 14."

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
